About Tile of America

Owner Marco Aurélio and his crew install bathroom, shower, kitchen, backsplash, and floor tile throughout Cape Cod. Every installation includes a one-year written workmanship warranty. West Yarmouth is where the shop is, so this is the town we are in and out of every day, and the one where a small job is never too far to be worth doing properly.
Tile Work for West Yarmouth Homes
West Yarmouth homes, most built between 1970 and 1999, sit on subfloors framed before modern deflection standards. Salt air, seasonal moisture, and older framing all affect how tile performs over time.
Tile of America checks the floor structure, addresses what the subfloor needs, and builds on waterproof substrates before a single tile is set, so every installation is built around the actual conditions of the home.
Tile
Showers, bathroom floors and walls, backsplashes and tile repair across West Yarmouth. Shower assemblies are built on Schluter Kerdi-Board with a bonded membrane over the seams, corners and curb, because the barrier behind the tile does more work than the tile does.
Bathroom
Complete West Yarmouth bathroom remodels, not just the tile. Layout, waterproofing, fixtures and finishes handled as one job, including walk-in shower and tub-to-shower conversions, so nobody is waiting on another trade to show up.
Kitchen
Full kitchen work for West Yarmouth homeowners, from cabinets and counters through to the backsplash and floor. One contractor through the whole job, with the scope and the number in writing before anything is opened up.
Flooring
Porcelain, ceramic and natural stone through kitchens, entries and living areas, plus the subfloor preparation underneath it. Large-format tile needs a floor flat within a tight tolerance, so West Yarmouth subfloors are corrected before the first row goes down.
Countertops
Quartz, granite, marble and porcelain slab countertops for West Yarmouth kitchens and bathrooms, templated on site and fitted to the cabinets that are actually there. Old tops removed and disposed of as part of the job.

Older West Yarmouth homes require careful attention to framing, subfloor movement, and waterproofing before the first tile is installed.
Most West Yarmouth homes were built between 1970 and 1999, on framing that predates modern deflection standards. A shower in one of these homes sits on a floor that was never designed to hold tile without flexing.
That movement stresses the bond layer, opens grout joints, and eventually breaks the waterproofing seal. The tile itself rarely fails first.
Tile of America checks subfloor deflection and framing before quoting any shower project. We build on Schluter Kerdi-Board panels, which are waterproof through the board itself, and add a liquid membrane underneath the Kerdi system as a second independent layer.
That preparation happens before the first tile is ordered, not after a problem appears mid-job.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of the project, especially when structural changes, plumbing relocation, or other regulated work is involved.
Tile-only work that does not involve structural changes, plumbing relocation, or a change of use typically does not require a building permit in Yarmouth.
A shower replacement that includes a moved drain, altered wall framing, or other regulated work may require one, and the Town of Yarmouth Building Department makes that determination for each specific project.
Properties in or near a locally designated historic area should also confirm requirements when any structural demolition is involved.
We advise every West Yarmouth homeowner to verify permit requirements with the Building Department before work begins, and we can help you understand the scope of what your project involves.
Permits for this work are issued by the Yarmouth Building Department, and the permit is pulled before the work starts rather than after.
Most tile bids in West Yarmouth look similar on paper. The difference is what is built beneath the tile. Homes here were framed largely between 1970 and 1999, before modern deflection standards for ceramic and stone, so substrate choice determines whether an installation stays flat, bonded, and watertight through Cape Cod winters.
The substrate is not the largest line on the budget, but it separates a lasting installation from one that fails before the grout dries.
A foam-core panel with bonded waterproofing fleece, waterproof through the board itself rather than dependent on cement board behind a surface coating. Standard on every West Yarmouth shower we build.
Premium wet-area systemThe panel is waterproof through its core, and a bonded Kerdi membrane goes over the seams, corners and curb on top of it, used where its geometry or attachment method is the better fit for the assembly. Both choices cost more than standard cement board and last longer.
Waterproof through the panelDeflection, levelness, framing bellies, self-leveling needs, and finish height relative to adjacent hardwood are assessed before the first panel is installed on any West Yarmouth project.

Tile of America installs bathroom tile, kitchen tile, floor tile, shower tile, and backsplash tile throughout West Yarmouth, and also handles full tile removal when a project requires it. Each service starts with an on-site look at the subfloor and structure before any quote is given, so the estimate reflects what the job actually needs. Contact Tile of America for a free estimate.
Cape Cod averages around 50 inches of annual precipitation, and freezing temperatures can occur on six months of the year, from November through April. Tile of America accounts for that moisture load by building on substrates that are waterproof through the panel itself and by sealing every seam, because water that finds a gap in a coastal home works at it year-round, not just during one season.
Tile of America inspects the subfloor and framing before quoting any project, and that step matters most in homes built between 1940 and 1999, which make up much of West Yarmouth's housing stock. Floors that are out of level, framing with bellies, and subfloors that need self-leveling are all identified before the first tile is ordered, not discovered mid-job.
Tile of America serves the full Cape Cod region from its base in West Yarmouth, including Yarmouth, Dennis, Hyannis, Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, Provincetown, Falmouth, Mashpee, Bourne, and Plymouth. Scheduling is coordinated from West Yarmouth. Contact Tile of America for a free estimate on your project.
Every tile Tile of America installs goes in with leveling clips, which mechanically eliminates lippage across the finished surface. Before work begins, the finish height is set so the new tile lands flush with any adjacent hardwood floor, avoiding a threshold strip the homeowner never planned for. That planning happens at the estimate stage, not after the tile is down.
If you are weighing which rooms to tile, which materials fit your subfloor, or whether removal work is needed first, that is the right stage to call. Tile of America visits the home before quoting, so the estimate reflects the actual conditions of your West Yarmouth property, not a guess made over the phone.
